However, you must remember that courts and jails are overflowing as it is.
Our jails and courts are overflowing because of laws designed to benifit people rather than laws designed to protect peoples rights. The biggest load on our court systems today are victimless crimes like drug use. I personally do not believe that there can be a crime without a victim, but none the less it is just that type of thinking that is clogging up the courts and jails.
No one said anything about lying to consumers being accpetable! Nobody even suggested it but you. It is pure unadulterated FUD on your part. There is a big difference between not providing information and lying. Most books aren't rated. Does that make the publishers liars? This website isn't rated. Does that make Slashdot a bunch of liars? How about music CDs or Computer games? How about Geeks In Space? Does that need a rating too?
Parents should take a little responsibility and not rely on the government to raise their children for them. Is it really too much effort to read a review of a movie before letting your children see it?
People don't parent their children anymore and that is the real problem. They just expect the government to provide a safe world for them to live in so they don't have to expend the effort involved in raising children. I have news for you all the government has done is provided a much more dangerous world to live in.

The best solution is the fourth one that you didn't list. Buyer beware. Take a little repsonsibility yourself.
